In honor of TheTechnoTurian's call to arms, RustyBuckets02 and I played a Gold duo on Condor, using Fat Turians ™ with Phaestons. Rusty was the Soldier and I was the Sentinel.

 

Rusty made fun of me for taking the Acolyte as a sidearm, but a true Turian knows a good weapon even if it does come from outside the heirarchy. And as we drew Cerberus, the Acolyte was helpful to take down Atlas shields and against Phantoms and Dragoons.

(no I don't know why these are upside down... I made sure to rotate them rightside up before I save them... *sigh*)

 

The first waves were a bit rougher than they should have been, as we spent too much time in Condor's deadly center area. Also we're both a bit out of practice with this game. Eventually we got into a rhythm.

 

Wave 3: Packages -- I don't recall any particular difficulties here.

 

Wave 6: Targets -- In an attempt to switch targets, I managed to Missile... nothing at all. @%$^&! I don't know when I started sucking with the Missile Launcher. Anyway we ground down the Atlases with weapons instead.

 

Wave 10: Escort -- The drone started at the LZ and actually wanted to go to the upper platform with the crates, but I thought it wanted to go to the extraction zone. (Cue ominous music.)

 

We had only escorted it a little ways before we were getting swarmed by Phantoms, so we ran over to the big hill at the other side of the map to draw the enemies away. After a while we ran back to the drone and managed to escort it near the wrecked Mako. Another swarm of Phantoms dropped us both, and after we both Medi-Gel'd, Rusty got stabbed... I was able to run away to the big hill again.

 

At this point I saw the enemies coming up the upper platform, and thought that was OK, because I was still under the impression that the drone wanted to go to the extraction zone. Until I realized my mistake and Rusty deadpanned that having an Atlas and two Phantoms right where the drone wanted to end its journey would make things slightly more difficult.

 

Well, screw it; I just ran up in there and took cover behind some walls and crates while the Phantoms flipped around me and the Atlas couldn't figure out whether to missile me or ground-pound me. In the confusion the drone finished its upload and I attempted a cleanup Missile... only to again fail and only kill the Atlas, not the Phantoms.

 

At this point you can imagine the Benny Hill music as I ran around the map, got dropped by Phantoms twice, and somehow managed to survive. (The Acolyte was pretty helpful.) Against the last Atlas I decided to make things extra exciting by peeking too far out of RHA and getting health gated!

 

Wave 11 Extraction -- I had some Ops Packs left but no Gel. We held the hill for a while and I Acolyte'd many Phantoms and Dragoons. I died and Rusty revived me somehow. With seconds to spare we dropped into the extraction zone where I used a pre-emptive Ops Pack to protect against Phantom pew-pews.

 

Mission Successful!

I don't have an iPhone so the entire process is blocked for me. Thank the gods.

 

BTW on imgur, if you go to the "Images" page you can select the image and click Edit to, well, edit the image, one of the edit possibilities being rotation.

I don't have an iphone because Apple are discriminatory towards left-handed people.  I don't own any Apple products.  Never have, never will.  I'm just so gutted that I missed out on that U2 album!!!

 

Back on topic, epic tale from Condor, upside down pics or not. Textbook.

Calibrations needed.

[Snow_Leopard25]

This has to be one of the best threads on this forum.  Turian love!

Tks to JRandall0308 for the good read!

It certainly puts a new perspective on things.

@randall. Seriously, completing half the escort at reduced speed was impressive enough. You didn't have to show off by kiting most of the wave into your path!

Seriously though, good game. I thought we'd be writing an obituary after the calamity that was wave 4, but a hard won victory is all the better. Wish I'd taken a krysae though in hindsight.

I don't remember the calamity on Wave 4. Do tell. This thread needs more glorious Turian war stories.

Sent you an FR while I break for lunch. Turian greatness is wasted on pugs who never talk

I just completed 200 waves as a TGI, netting me Commando Mastery.

 

(That last game went so well that the host set the lobby to Platinum for the next game, so I bailed.  Not ready for that!)

 

I've played him in Gold and Silver.  In Silver, I like him with the Avenger (deadly on full auto, don'tcha know) or Phaeston.  In Gold, I've played him with the Phaeston, Mattock, Lancer and Crusader (on-host).  He's easily good enough to make the Phaeston effective in Gold, though I'm a horrible scrub and find the nasty bullet sponge pressure units in the later waves a bit difficult without a little more firepower.

Although I haven't unlocked the Saber yet, I reckon I'd really enjoy him with that in Gold.

Definitely not a case of "200 waves and never again".  He's ever so much fun and I shall keep playing him :-)

Now, should I deploy the Saboteur or the Havoc next?  I watched Techno's Havoc Strike Bumblebee solo video and he looks a lot of fun, though CQC and me don't get along very well.  Perhaps the saboturian is more my style.

I would say probably Saboturian then, since he is great at ranged combat and crowd control. That aside, if you like quarians (I am hazarding a guess that you do based on your signature and icon ) he can be played similarly to the QFE and QFI.

Yes. Yes you will

[Dunmer of Redoran]

Sorry TechnoTurian, I'd be online but my internet is being wildly inconsistent and Origin is one of the things I'm having no luck with at all.
